HOPE is an almost a fifty year old classic so there is some peeling paint and varnish but the Wasque hull is a true head turner and the solid hull layup makes for a great ride. If I were to continue to own the boat the items I would address next are more cosmetic. The bottom needs soda blasting, barrier coat and new paint. The topsides and deck also could use fresh paint and varnish. Here is a list of the noteworthy improvements during our ownership:
In 2020 the engine was removed and a substantial rebuild was completed by the lead diesel mechanic at Conanicut Marina. After a clean oil analysis and a view of the cylinder walls showed no scoring it was decided that the pistons looked good. Here is an abrivieded list of the work completed - Replaced portside engine stringer, new motor mounts, new exhaust manifold, new exhaust elbow, new heat exchanger core, new oil cooler, head taken off and rebuilt, injectors and fuel pump rebuilt, new injector lines, new wiring and main panel, new alternator, new starter motor, new raw water pump, new fuel lift pump, new hoses, new front and rear seals, new transmission flywheel, engine repainted, new engine thru-hull and valve.
AccommodationsHerreshoff style interior. V-berth forward with custom upholstery. Galley and hanging locker to starboard, Head and Settee to Port. Stainless steel sink, large ice box, alcohol stove top. Ships clock and barometer.
Quoting Nautical Quarterly 1978 " Traditional lobsterboat lines taken in fact from a Martha's Vineyard working boat-distinguish the WASQUE 32. The sheerline is as graceful as one could want, the house lines in good proportion, the deck spaces ample and efficient for anging, line-handling, accommodating a daycruising crowd. This is an aesthetically pleasing boat, starting out with the plain grace of work-boat lines and finish with first quality teak trim and on deck with sturdy hardware. More than attractive, the WASQUE is as able as any working lobsterboat in the Northeast's tide rips and tall water-the full buoyant bow rises easily to head seas and displaces lumpy water without fuss: the long keel affords excellent control in following seas."
WASQUE is pronounced "Way-Squee". Named for Wasque Point on Martha's Vineyard.
